Very family oriented friendly people. Very Mom-friendly in terms of schedule flexibility. Great work-life balance. Lots of perks. I found it very impressive with how senior management was able to manage this firm quite well through a tough financial market. have nothing but optimistic outlook on the future of this company. Very inspiring group of people. Encouraging work environment.

Cons

The company is pretty small therefore it's very hard to move up. Career-wise you'll start to feel stuck after a few years. Much office politics, very male dominated culture. There are absolutely no women in senior level positions at this company.

I have been working at RAIT Financial Trust full-time (less than a year)

Pros

Very friendly staff and family oriented; good work/life balance

Cons

A lot of employees have been here for years and act like a tight group. Being new can sometimes feel uncomfortable because everyone knows everyone except you and you may sometimes feel like you're intruding on their time together because they are so close

Great group of people, working hard to make things work, with a high level of respect for work and life balance.

Cons

The company is still facing headwinds due to funding challenges in the capital markets. Management has been very good about dodging the bullets, but could do a better job laying out the future of the company to employees.
